If you’re a registered BlackBerry® Developer Zone
member, you may have recently received an invitation to participate in
our developer survey. I am following up that email to encourage your
participation, as this survey is a direct way to tell us what you need
to be more successful with your BlackBerry platform development. Your
answers will help guide our product planning and feature development!

With this survey, we are most interested in understanding which
BlackBerry development tools you are using regularly, and on which host
platforms (Windows®, Linux®, MacOS X). We are also interested in your
language choices for application development both on and off the
BlackBerry OS, and in which development phases you are spending your
time. Most importantly, we really want to understand how we can improve
your time to market, and we’ll use your answers to the types of
questions you see above as a metric of our success.

This survey will become a regular occurrence – at least twice a year.
We use this data to better understand your usage of developer tools and
the areas that are challenging your success. There is a combination of
multiple choice and open-ended questions, so you will have the ability
to give us direct feedback for your personal needs.

The survey should take about 10-15 minutes but could end up saving
you hours with improved development tools and solutions from Research In
Motion this year. Not to mention your feedback is incredibly valuable
to us in terms of letting us know what you like, dislike, what you’d
like to see more of, and so on!
